our services
Turtle Tanks Island Systems INC provides a complete range of septic and wastewater system services across Vancouver Island.

Septic System Services We Provide
Complete septic solutions from initial consultation and custom design through to professional installation, inspection, and long-term system support.
Consultation Services
The first step to any successful septic project is to get the right information. With our consultation service, property owners will know exactly what their site requires, what system options are available, what the regulations are, and what they can realistically expect when they sign a contract. We ask the relevant questions before we make the decision so that the direction we go in suits the property and the budget behind it.
Design and Planning
A septic system designed around the specific characteristics of your site performs significantly better than one built from a generic template. Our design and planning service accounts for soil permeability, terrain, property layout, daily usage load, and local code requirements to produce a system specification that works for the long term from the very beginning.
Installation Services
Our installation team manages every phase of the process from excavation and tank placement through to pipe connections, backfill, and final system commissioning. Every installation is carried out to current code standards, documented for permit requirements, and thoroughly tested before the site is handed back. We do not sign off on a job until the system performs correctly.
System, Upgrades and Replacements
Ageing septic systems that are underperforming, failing inspections, or simply no longer suited to the current demands of the property need more than a temporary fix. Our upgrade and replacement service assesses what the existing system requires, recommends the most practical solution, and handles the full transition from the old setup to the new one.
Drain field Replacements
A drain field that has reached the end of its service life affects the entire septic system and cannot simply be patched. Our drain field replacement service covers full removal of the failed system, site assessment to confirm the new field location and design, and complete installation of a replacement that meets current performance and regulatory standards.
Septic Inspections
Our inspection service gives property owners an accurate, documented picture of the current condition of their septic system. We assess the tank structure, inlet and outlet components, liquid levels, and drain field performance where accessible. The findings are recorded clearly and accompanied by honest recommendations based on what the system actually needs at the time of inspection.
DIY Projects
Some property owners prefer to manage portions of their septic project themselves and we support that. Our DIY service provides the technical guidance, material recommendations, and step-by-step support needed to complete certain aspects of a septic project safely and to the standard required by local regulations, with our team available to answer questions throughout the process.
Concrete Tanks
For good reason, precast concrete septic tanks are among the most durable and popular choices throughout Vancouver Island. They are more structurally resistant than lighter options, are more tolerant of high water tables, and can have a long service life of decades when properly installed. We provide and install a concrete tank of the appropriate size for the property’s system requirements.
Polyethylene / Plastic Tanks
High-density polyethylene tanks offer a practical and cost-effective alternative to concrete in applications where site access, weight constraints, or soil conditions make a lighter tank the better choice. Our team evaluates each situation individually to determine whether a plastic tank suits the project requirements and installs every unit to the same standard applied across all our tank work.
